LUMBER^ Many people just think of building material as “lumber” when* in reality they ahould consider the material that go Into"their buildings as “Tum- a-Lumber.” “Tum-a-Lumber“ stands for a better than ordinary quality, at les» price; and a better than usual service at all times. In every community served by a “Tum-a-Lumber” yard you will find that those conditions hold true. The reason is plain. Coffie în ânff Tet bs tell you about it.- Torn-A-Lumber Co D. E.

Bank of Moro Red Cross Wants War Vets Attention 'The local Red Cross urges all veterans of the world war to file their applications for- adjusted compensa tion immediately. The local office states that up to the present time only about 1,300,000 applications have been filed altho a total of 4,500,000 men and women are eligible. An important reason for urging prospective beneficiaries to file appli cation immediately is that the face value of the insurance certificate furnished to the veteran is dependent upon his age at the time of filing his application, the amount decreas- ing as his age increases. Further- more, if the veteran dies without filing a claim, his beneficiary, upon making application, is entitled to much smaller amount than would be received if the veteran himself had filed the request. The local office in the First National bank building, The Dalles, is prepared to help all ex-service men fill out application blanks. M oro T heatre OREGON MORO, Red Lights Saturday, January 10th.
